Love it the way it is! Only thing better than black with red interior is a black with dark grey! Very sweet looking car.

An old issue of Corvette News had a '75 (I believe) Silver Coupe with Silver Leather interior as the cover car. Always loved that combination. Silver with the gunmetal interior should offer just enough contrast to be Extra . Now,.......... what color top?

As for the rack, I could go either way. Might be cool to leave it in place.

Overall I give it .
